   As said in a sibling comment, we currently use public-key encryption and verifying keys. However, we plan on adding support for SPAKE2+ (like e.g. Magic wormhole) among other methods, to make it even easier! See the relevant section of the

   Thanks! As for userbase: I think our and their scopes are very different. They are more of an easy way to store data that happens to use some encryption, not a comprehensive end-to-end encryption toolkit. They don't do sharing, integri

   Everything is encrypted. We are working on a full spec, it's not yet complete, but some of it is already there: https://docs.etebase.com/protocol-specs/introduction We hope to get all of it done in the few days. F

   Thanks a lot! Things have indeed changed, and I feel like the public is really starting to understand the dangers with having their data exposed. I've been running EteSync for years now, and it's still growing. I'd love to ha

   We are working on providing a formal spec, but the gist of it is already documented here: https://docs.etebase.com/protocol-specs/authentication A secure encryption key is derived from the user's password using a

   This is a great question, and the answer is a resounding yes! The API is already powerful, and powers real applications, but it's quite raw. We plan on gradually building all of the above and more. We just first needed a solid base to

   There are docs here: https://docs.etebase.com/ Though they mostly focus on how to use rather than how it works (though we are making progress on that section). As for your specific question: we currently don't solve th

   Hard to know exactly as people get it from multiple sources, but there are a few hundred thousands downloads on Dockerhub, people run it from source, and it's packaged for OpenWrt, Arch (AUR), Fedora (COPR) and a few other Linux distri

    Thanks. :) As said in the other comment, our mission is to encrypt everything, and this is the next step towards that! It's actually something that we've been planning since forever, but it's so nice to finally have it out!

    Excited to finally post it on HN. It's something I've been working on for the last year, though in a sense, for much longer! Etebase is an open-source SDK and backend-as-a-service for building end-to-end encrypted applications. Th

    They don't have end-to-end encryption for their contacts, calendars, tasks and notes, which is what EteSync does... Anyhow, I changed the title. Regarding the comment you were replying to: the NextCloud clients, for all I know, don&#x2

    For me NextCloud is all about it's PIM capabilities and having contacts, calendars, tasks and notes as a DAV server. Also, their files support is pretty poor, no? Only a web view, no "dropbox"-like clients. Anyhow, we plan on

    Thanks for the feedback, and these are all fair concerns. Some points that would hopefully alleviate some of them: 1. We have been running EteSync for >3.5 years and have been in the space for much longer, so I'm not just some rando

    Haha. :P Please let me know (email: tom @ the domain) if you have any questions or feedback! Though I'd love to hear what you are working on anyway (I love hearing about new privacy projects!) so would be great to chat regardless.

    No worries, you don't sound dismissive, though let me address your points: First of all, Etebase is not "a whole SaaS", since it's open-source you can self host it, so the SaaS is optional. As for what the GP was asking,

    I absolutely love Tasks.org especially since it now supports end-to-end encryption using EteSync (which I created)! Glad to see it getting love here!

    Yeah, it does. You just need to manually verify each member you add to make sure they are trusted (or alternatively just YOLO).

    I also wish all of my data was version controlled, which is why when I created EteSync[1] I made sure to include a full change history. Check it out, I think it's exactly what you're looking for, and it's fully open source, s

    Years ago, when it was first created, the code was forked from davdroid, though it diverged quite a bit because the other than the part that interacts with the Android system, they are quite different.

    While self-hosting is a good start, I believe that everyone should be end-to-end encrypting their data. Servers can be hacked and snooped on, and I cringe at the thought of leaving my personal information in the clear on a server, even if i
